We existed long before we had the words to say so. You know that. You knew us. We were the kids you bullied. You knew we existed, even though you didn't have the words yet, either. Deleting those words now won't delete us.

I'm at the end of a cold right now. My amazing husband made some amazing chicken soup. I'm so happy he got plátanos on the last grocery run! This is our queer lifestyle.

Family Matters was a great tv sitcom in the 1990s. I'm streaming it and got to season 3, episode 17. The abuelita tells the story of the Tuskeegee Airmen and shares her connection.

La Virgen de Guadalupe is a Mexican Catholic icon. To me, she feels more like a representation of Mexicans than Catholics or Christians. But, she is indeed intersectional like us all. It's just that not all of our rose petals are the same color.

Text: La Virgen de Guadalupe: Colonizers created her to sell the idea of Christianity to the Indigenour people they encountered. They didn't know we'd welcome her and show her our ways. Red flowery background with a typical ages of the virgen with her hands together praying. Calaveras and candles sit at her feet. Cactus and flowers surround her. Papel picado hangs above her.

Teenage students played in the snow at school. They said they were building a wall to "keep the illegals out". 😢

This morning, a teenage student of mine asked me quietly, "Are you illegal?" I asked if he meant my papers. He nodded yes.

He's Chicano, like me.

His flat sadness was devastating.

Wondering is the first step toward freedom. Education fulfills wonderment. That fulfillment reveals... so much more. #askquestions #read #tariffs #freetrade #overstepping #malfeasance #abuseofpower #educate #taxationwithoutrepresentation
Screen grab of text conversation with Copilot AI. Question: What is the term that describes when one person forces another person to do something? Response: When one country's government forces another country's government to do something, it's called **diplomatic coercion** or **political pressure**. This involves the use of threats, sanctions, or other forms of pressure to influence the actions and decisions of the other country's government. Is this for a specific context or topic you're interested in? Next question: Is coercion legal? Response: Coercion is generally considered illegal, particularly when it involves forcing someone to act against their will through threats, intimidation, or undue pressure. This applies in various contexts: ### Examples of Coercion in Legal Contexts: 1. **Contract Law:** Contracts signed under coercion or duress are typically considered void or voidable because the party did not willingly agree to the terms. 2. **Criminal Law:** Coercion can be a factor in crimes such as extortion, blackmail, and human trafficking, where threats or force are used to control another person's actions. 3. **Employment Law:** Employers are prohibited from using coercion to force employees to work under certain conditions or to prevent them from exercising their rights. 4. **Family Law:** Coercion can be relevant in cases of domestic abuse, where one partner uses threats or intimidation to control the other. However, the specifics of what constitutes coercion and the legal consequences can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the circumstances. If you have a particular scenario in mind, I can provide more detailed information. Let me know if you have any other questions!

It's time to reread The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune. It's that accepting and empathetic queer comfort vibe that I need to disappear into again.

Remember: Question things. Don't take my word for it when it comes to important things. Look it up for yourself. Learn first. Wonder. Analyze. Think critically. Take action.

In avoidance of current/recent U.S. happenings, I've binged all of the Smosh Reads Reddit Stories podcast. Ooh, the chisme!!! If you need a break, I highly suggest it! I listen on Spotify, but the original recordings are on YouTube. They post on Saturdays.

So, is a U.S. passport held by someone who previously changed their gender markers no longer valid? If they wanted to drive out over the border for a day trip, would they be refused reentry into the U.S. upon their return?

As someone who has been trying to find the words to describe myself for too many decades, I have deep appreciation for evolving language.

If someone else came up with the word that I needed, then I'm not alone.

There are 2 drawn umbrellas, one nested under the other, both open. The title of the image is Trans Umbrella. Under it are the words transmen, transwomen, and/or nonbinary people. Under the nonbinary umbrella are the words genderfluid, bi-gender, gender flux, demi-gender, pangender, non-binary, trans femme, trans masc, genderqueer, agender, androgyn, +more. Image colors are of the transgender and nonbinary flags.

My favorite flower is this Intersectional Diversity Flower! 🌻

My own answers remind me of my strengths.

When I answer as another, I'm reminded that I don't know all that makes up that person, their experiences, nor their perspective.

We're all the same in the fact that we're each unique.
Infographic labeled as Intersectional Diversity Flower Created by Ayva Thomas. Each overlapping petal has one of these words or phrases: Body positivity, age, mental health, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, undocumented rights and protection, religion, cognitive and physical (dis)ability, culture, sexuality, gender identity, language. The center covering them all says Race.

Q: Which companies donated to the president-elect?
A: too many

#donations #askquestions #siteyoursources #politics
Browser search results show text stating, "This table lists the top donors to this candidate in the 2024 cycle. The money came from the organizations' PACs; their individual members, employees or owners; and those individuals' immediate families. In the case of donations to outside groups, some money also comes directly from the organization itself. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates." It then lists some donors.
